Petrol stations are good places to ask for a ride, especially while hitchhiking along a highway.
== On ramps ==

On ramps to freeways and interstates are prime realty as long as the driver has room to pull over. A good spot to stand usually is beside the ''no pedestrians'' sign.
In many places in the United States, on ramps are the '''only''' legal option for places to thumb. This includes the entire state of Tennessee. In all countries in Europe you can legally hitch on a slip-road leading onto the motorway, '''as long as you stand in front of the motorway sign.'''

Nine times out of ten you can get a ride anywhere there is a parking lot;(i.e. park and ride).

==On the road==
The countryside, especially where traffic speed is lower than about 60 km/h, can be a good place for hitching. Traffic on minor roads on the countryside can offer great rides to get to the nearest bigger city, or onto the main infrastructure.
It is easy to lose hours by making mistakes such as standing on the wrong road, or the wrong side of the road. Make sure you know which road you want to be on, and keep checking the road signs so that you know where you are on your map and where you will leave the vehicle. This is especially important when traveling across cities.
